    My favorite case with Akechi Kengo. I recommend anyone who want to see the masterpiece Kindaichi is to watch this episode. It tells of a case that happen in Akechi's past. I always remember this case as it goes beyond a good case, The OST that plays was on spot as Akechi says to Kobayashi before anything or anyone else, he is Akechi Kengo. His morality of justice that was paired with the OST moves me so much. Return justice by going after the enablers. Akechi helped the bookstore lady and the delinquent when nothing would be done, the two people that needed help andjustice. It was really sweet, nnAkechi sees to it that the delinquent understands what he's done and brings him to the bookstore lady. The delinquent cries to make it up to her. nnI love the bookstore lady who was owed the justice finally gets it, an admission of wrong and for forgiveness from the delinquent and she accepts to work with him to rebuild the store together. nnIt was so nice to see justice come out of this for everyone, I would like to see the bookstore lady and delinquent's smiles together. nnAkechi's last line on Kindaichi was good ending!
